A few questions about SimCity 4's system. Is it possible to: Add extra dimensions to development, alongside the included wealth and density? Add new utilities alongside the power, water, and garbage utilities in the game? If not, maybe I'll consider taking my idea to Skylines instead.

I suppose I'll go with the scifi stuff then. Upon opening the thing I just realised how rusty I was with it all. Are there any resources which'll help me pick it up again? It seems that the articles that helped me before on the Omnibus are now all broken.

According to some old forum post, there's supposedly a link to download 3DS Max 2012 from the Autodesk website...but so far I can't find anything. Any help?

Title. I've been itching to try and pick up 3DSMax and BAT again, but I'm not sure what I'd want to create. I figured it'd be best if I saw what the community wanted. Though, if someone ends up bringing up a really good case for producing one of the above, I'll consider it more heavily. Side note is that if I end up getting committed to it, I do have a knack for making things into huge projects. Thanks again!

I don't really plan much past making a list of thins like "there's gonna be canals" and "the region relies heavily on rail and not on roads". Of course, this probably is why I don't end up finishing anything, like, ever. I suppose I have sketched out thumbnail paintings of what I want regions to look like, but they're not by any means anything close to a schematic.

Sincere constructive criticism is much more useful. Through it I can get real compliments, eventually. It's all part of the plan. The number 15 or the number 49?

So it's kind of like a host-a-server have-players-join system with temporary and dedicated servers? Sounds fun, I'd play.

I suppose simulation and things like that are cool, but then I (along with others) play SimCity in a respect that you can create beautiful and almost photorealistic images. Heck, that's what City Journals are in a respect. Now if they made a SimCity 4.5 where everyone didn't have to remake all their custom content but they added in even more modding support (no more NAM puzzle piece sifting!) I'd be happier than if someone bought me every single city sim game in the next hour. Not gonna get too excited over this yet.

Keep in mind that higher wealth sims dislike taking public transport, and prefer to drive around in their fancy sedans to their workplaces. Also, with your R$ problem: Consider zoning medium density residential. Lack of space means it's more expensive to buy a single family house.

That is the most messed up idea I ever heard from you. I'll be joining you in ten minutes.

Oh, Kai Tak, you never cease to amaze me. The old Kai Tak airport that closed a year before I existed (sadly) would probably be a special mention. Not for the looks of it, but the impact on the surrounding area is actually quite interesting. Kai Tak was situated right in the heart of Hong Kong, in the Kowloon side of the harbour. As you can see in that aerial photograph, it's surrounded by development. Planes would often fly ridiculously low over the streets below, and was probably one of the hardest airports to land in at the time. A scene like this wasn't too uncommon for many people: Because of the constant aircraft zooming low over the neighborhood, it would be logical that the Hong Kong government imposed a height restriction, which they did. This height restriction lasted up until the airport closed in 1997. The interesting part is, if you get into tall tower overlooking this specific area, you can guess the age of the buildings. Most of the buildings that are shorter than some 7 or 8 stories have been built before '97. A major problem in Hong Kong would be the numerous illegal structures built on top of apartments and offices. With that in mind, combined with the restriction at the time drove many people to construct illegal basements under their homes. Practically every building in Kowloon side has at least some sort of illegal underground cellar.
